I hosted bunco at my house last night. I love to entertain, whether it is simply a couple of friends popping in for a visit, a potluck, a big dinner, whatever. I love to cook. I love to see my family and friends. Mostly? I love that having people over makes me clean my house. […]
Please pass the cheese.
As I’m preparing dinner, Devin (16) walks into the kitchen, roots through the fridge…. as he’s chugging a tall, cold glass of milk, he asks if there is any sparkling cider leftover from Mother’s Day Brunch. Me: “No, you finished up the bottle that was open. We have more, but they’re for a special occasion.”Devin: […]
Does this mean I can call myself a domestic engineer?
Devin (16 and a half) and my 17 year old niece accompanied me to a store. They cruised around, checking out the bounty of goods that JoAnn Fabrics had to offer. I found the couple of things I needed and went to the registers to pay. As I finished up my transaction and headed for […]
Mom of the Year? Me? pffft. Not!
I need to get a parenting blunder off of my chest. There have been so many, but this is the one that truly bugs me the most. Chinese food and bad words: A few years ago we were all hurrying and scurrying around because the elementary school’s Open House was that evening. Knowing that the […]
These are a few of my (least) favorite things….
Tyrone Wells (one of my favorite singers) has a song called The Hate Song. It’s a funny list of things a jilted boyfriend has compiled in order to make himself feel better. Things I hate, in no particular order: 1) People Who Don’t RSVP I have actually put “Please let me know as soon as […]
Food poisoning. It’s what’s for breakfast.
Scene: our kitchen; 7:00 a.m. Devin & Conner are at the counter, eating breakfast. Mom: (shuffling out, bleary eyed, to make some coffee…) “Good morning guys.” Devin: “Hi Mom. Listen, there was a little mold on this bagel, but I cut it off. I’m trying to eat it, but it tastes bad. It tastes funny. […]
I’d like a Xanax Martini please.
I woke up yesterday morning, excited about the day. I was going to do 3 fun things for ME! ME!! (9:30) – In the morning I was meeting a girlfriend for coffee (with Grant along for the ride, but that’s no problem because each of them like each other more than they like me… I […]
That’s more like it!
He does have his good moments too! Nice job!
Am I being Punk’d? So bad it’s funny… or at least it will be someday.

Nobody gets a shake until Mommy gets a margarita!
Overheard: What my children fear… “You better be careful or Mom will blog about you…” Devin my dear, this one’s for you. 7:30 pm, Monday night…. Mom: Devin, you have an orthodontic appointment tomorrow after school, so come straight home. Devin: Got it. 3:00 pm, Tuesday afternoon the phone rings… Mom: Hello? Devin: Mom! The […]
